Of course Jimi Hendrix was a big science fiction fan
The secret science fiction inspiration behind Jimi Hendrix's music

Excerpt from above link:
Night of Light was a science fiction book that in 1966 inspired
Jimi to eventually write 'Purple Haze.' Farmer's story had to do with
sunspots having a disorienting effect on a distant planet's population.
Jimi wrote pages and pages of lyrics for 'Purple Haze,' originally an
epic tale of the history of warfare for the control of the planet
Neptune.

The space-age editors over at Coilhouse Magazine are reviving

of Victorian class but not steampunky), an excerpt from Samuel R.
Delany's next novel, and articles calling out all those goth-on-chain
human pets to step it up (finally!).

10 Favorite Actors from Geeky Movies and TV

Our 10 Favorite Actors from Geeky Movies & TV | Geekdad from Wired.com
Our criteria are simple: to make this list, an actor must have been in two or more classic geeky movies or TV shows, be they science fiction, fantasy, super-hero, horror/monster, or whatever. They must have made an indelible impression with their work. It helps if their characters spouted some really quotable lines, and it really helps if at least one of their roles went on to develop true "cult" status.
